Hey mama2005 i have the same dilema.
I cant stand looking at my nose in the mirror or reflected in shop windows, i dont like photos being taken either.
I could have surgery too, and for me i think looking like my old self again is the biggest bonus. Yes, i can breathe through the saddling but i also have a spetal perforation.
Its like cutting your nose off to spite your face. You have to way up the risks and benefits for yourself. I had 2 nose biopsies. After the second i woke up hysterically crying cos i just dont like the ordeal of being put asleep and have someone fiddle about with you nose. That said, i dont wanna walk around for the rest of my life looking like i do now either! It definately impacts my self confidence.
When i am stable and in remission long enough then my ENT will talk to me about my options. Right now he wont even think about it.
Only worry for me is, after its fixed and looking normal again - it could saddle and collapse again.
Good luck with whatever you choose Mama.
